Description

School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy HUBS2507: Integrative Physiology for Biomedical Science Callaghan Semester 2 - 2021

OVERVIEW Course Description

This course builds upon the basic human physiological concepts introduced in HUBS1403 and HUBS1404 by presenting in more depth the physiology of the major body systems and with greater emphasis on the regulatory roles of the neural and endocrine systems. Practical sessions will demonstrate and reinforce physiological concepts and extend the student's knowledge base providing students with the capacity to use research skills to address biomedical science questions of importance to world health. Areas emphasised are those that prepare students for a career in research that focuses on physiological mechanisms and also for careers in any health science discipline.

This course will cover the following topics: 1. Neurophysiology 2. Endocrine physiology 3. Cardiovascular physiology 4. Respiratory physiology 5. Metabolic and exercise physiology 6. Gastrointestinal physiology 7. Renal physiology 8. Environmental physiology 9. Physiological measurement

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the physiological function and control of the major organ systems 2. Describe how these systems are integrated in the human body to maintain homeostasis 3. Use physiological measurement and analysis to demonstrate the variability in response by the human body to stimuli that disturb the homeostatic balance 4. Describe the application of animal models of physiology and their relationship to the understanding of human disease 5. Use written and/or oral skills to report on the variance in body systems
